####################
Duan Li and his party soon arrived at the Duel hall of the academy where the Dueling platform was located.
This Dueling platform was centered in the middle of the hall, and just like the many lecture classrooms in the academy, the seating arrangement for the audiences were like that of a coliseum.
In terms of size however, the Duel hall was countless times larger, and could fit as many as 30 thousand people in it.
This was because the Duel hall was often the place where numerous official event from the academy were held when fighting was the main theme. For example, at the very end of each semester, the academy would hold the Student Ranking competition here.
The Student Ranking was a very important competition where the top student from each realm would duel against each other. Those who managed to outlast every single one of the contestants would be crowned as the Student Emperor, and right now, this title belonged to a senior student whom had successfully defended his title and reigned for a whole five successive years!
The moment Duan Li and his party arrived at the Duel hall, all of the crowds that came earlier became excited.
”They are here! Finally the match is about to start!”
”I know most of these 20 people that got shortlisted and they could only be described as terrifying! Their fights would probably be the most interesting I have yet to watch in this semester!”
”No wonder I didn't get shortlisted, to think that these 20 people would be so formidable, perhaps I could consider myself as lucky to not be chosen. Otherwise, I would probably make an embarrassment out of myself on that Dueling platform against these guys!”
”Me too! The shortlisting criteria must've been really strict. These 20 people are all top-notch figure within the academy! Now, no matter who got chosen, that Duan Li would be destined for greatness and success with such strong lineups for his party members!”
The crowd swiftly nodded to the person whom made that last comment in agreement.
With that, they stopped talking as they put their entire attention onto the Dueling platform. This would be a fight that they cannot afford to miss!
In front of this Dueling platform was a stage with a single throne in the middle. Turning his head to Shen Lu, the latter seemed to be able to guess what Duan Li was about to ask and immediately answered with a smile, ”That throne is naturally for you to sit Brother. After all, the Lord must have their own prestige and dignity to go along with their title as well, thus, I ordered one!”
Hearing this, Duan Li sighed. But he understood the intention and meaning behind Shen Lu's words.
Indeed, it was as the latter had just said. As the Lord, he must show that he has the capacity to become their ruler! The influence and dominance that he should display in public so that they would acknowledge him, this was something extremely crucial if one wanted to truly be recognized.
As the saying went, false king could win the nation, but will never win the hearts of the people!
Walking over to the throne, Duan Li analyzed it for a bit and found no problems or issue whatsoever. However, after using his Identify ability on it, he was shocked when he read the description.
[Lord's Rightful Throne - A throne built by using one of the seven memory material in the Tian continent, Laden Wood.]
[Once one sat on it, the person would automatically unleash their whole aura to be absorbed by the throne. The throne would then perform special connection to this aura and recognize the person as its owner.]
[Special effect - Increases owner's dominance while sitting on the throne]
Eh? This effect..
Would everyone be okay if my aura were to be fully released here?
”Hmm.. perhaps I'm overthinking this. What could my mere aura would do anyway?” he thought.
Dilly-dallying no more, as he did not want the people here to wait any further, he quickly sat on it.
BOOM!
The air vibrated and turned viscous as if it was seething to explode. Like being pressed by the oceans, everyone within the Duel hall immediately felt this tremendous pressure!
